THE BREADWINNER (2:00 pm)
Don’t let this powerful and intense real-world story keep you from marveling at the gorgeously animated and visually captivating story of female empowerment. The nuanced and complicated epic heroine is a brave girl living in Afghanistan under the Taliban in the lead-up to the 2001 U.S. invasion who leaves home to take an epic journey to find her father. Renowned film critic, Leonard Maltin, raved, "American families deserve to see this excellent visually striking feature with a relatable young heroin that is as fresh and relevant as any movie of 2017.” Rated PG-13. Run time: 93 min.

HOSTILES (5:00 pm)
Academy Award® winner, Christian Bale, stars alongside Oscar® nominee, Rosamund Pike, Spirit Award winner, Ben Foster, phenom, Timothée Chalamet, and Wes Studi in this persistently powerful Western redemption tale set in the late 1890s. Set against the most stunningly photographed American West you’ve likely ever seen on film, it tells the tale of an army vet escorting a Native American chief and his family from Arizona to their ancestral home, in Montana.  It’s a powerful film that searches for signs of hope arising from the ashes of mistrust and mistreatment. Rated R. Run time: 127 min.

I, TONYA (8:00 pm)
Margot Robbie, nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for her starring role,  stars alongside Allison Janney, also nominated for a Golden Globe for  Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, and the film itself earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. This based-on-a-real-life-tale is about Tonya Harding's team’s efforts to derail Nancy Kerrigan, her key competitor, and her drive to win Olympic gold in figure skating at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway. “The Playlist” raved, “a knockout!  The ‘Goodfellas’ of figure skating.”  “Rolling Stone” added, “The movie cuts deep, holding a mirror up to the America most of us dismiss. … You’ll laugh till it hurts." Rated R. Run time: 119 min.
